I have just read that a joining comma (a connecting word such as and, or, but, while, and yet with an apostrophe in front) should not be used for other than to join two compete sentences together. Could anybody tell me if the following clause (beginning with and and ending with faction), intended as a weak interruption, is acceptable?
"Yeah, because with there, presently, an acknowledgement of where chemist shop and some lunatic parallel association inevitable, it was through one such dispensing, and when in relation to a certain marganalized faction, points of some commonality did feature me, some days back."
I'm sorry if that sounds convoluted.... However, from just now looking at the sentence italicised I'm inclined to think I can view that comma before and the one immediately following faction as a pair of gapping commas. Can I do that to the extent of no longer having to view the first as a joining comma?
All the best,
